The Unraveling - It Creeps

The worm shifts.

As more wolves begin to swarm it, some striking it without warning, it hesitates for a moment. It waits, calculating. Its many glassy eyes blink in unison, attention roving across the chaos it has created here.

The worm strikes.

With impressive speed for a beast so large, it lashes out, clawed tendrils hissing as they blur through the air. One arcs low toward Idris as he lunges for it, catching the ankle of his back right leg. The bones in his ankle shatter, sending a shockwave of pain through him. With a start, he realizes a bone has broken through his skin, and blood trickles down his limb onto the ground below.

The fate of the wolves directly in the worm's pass is sealed as it charges forward.

One wolf, Milo, was drawn forth the commotion. Already on the move, the worm hardly hesitates before it moves to chase him down, as if egged on by him warning the others.

Milo's body falls lifeless as the worm crushes him in one merciless movement, barely pausing to register the carnage as it tramples over him.

The worm is not blind to the attacks unleashed upon it, though it seems to have trouble deciding who to focus on next. Kaizen grabs hold of a drooping vine, rending it clean through; Widow aimed to worsen a wound that had been inflicted upon it. More attacks are unleashed upon it, by Hanaryō, by Asahi, by Atreyu, by Laniatus, by Setekh, by Morticia, by Azriel. By so many wolves.

Overwhelmed, the worm spins its body around, twisting and rolling as it lashes out at Sorcerer first. The tip of his tail is suddenly caught in the claw that tips one of the worm's appendages. Sorcerer's tail is broken with a sharp, audible snap.

Likewise, Gossamer is shoved backwards hard by the worm. She lands with a thud on the ground, scraping the right side of her hip in the process.
Vayne catches its attention next. He'd called out, trying to rally those around him, just a moment before- slipping into the underbrush only to move to strike. The worm's attention follows him, multitude of eyes blinking, eyes as sharp as razors.

Two clawed tendrils suddenly reach out, grabbing hold of him roughly. In a split second, something horrific happens- the worm's maw parts and Vayne is pulled inside.

The sound of him being consumed is loud, wet and sickening as it echoes off the surrounding trees.
